Good judgement in knowing when to move back down. Go kill the 100NL game for awhile to rebuild your confidence. If you multitable I don't think there is anything wrong with throwing in a 200NL table or 2 with a BR of considerably less than the recommended 4k. But just concentrate on killing the 100NL solely for awhile. Confidence is key in poker, get that back no matter what level. best of luck.

[Ojo_Rojo]

Good luck PokerJoker - I'm currently in 100NL - 200NL limbo, where I can maintain an ok winrate at 100NL, but as soon as I go up, my downswing "re-emerges" and I drop 5 buyins. That hurts.

A lesser poker player than ourselves would go broke in half the time with the beats I've taken.

I can only keep trying, then, just maybe, I can consolidate my place at the 200NL tables and I'll see you there. Here's to 2006.

ps. If you want to swap hand histories with me, at either 200NL 6max or full-ring, then I'm game.

[Staycool]

i think you can play these better--
1)raise less w/ AJ, fold flop
2)fold river
3)i often like to raise that flop to get $ out of AK

I agree.

[/ QUOTE ]
I always for pot preflop. And yeah i should definitly fold flop. Also, I often check a flop like this, but at this point i felt i had been chechking too many and there was a good chance i could take down this healthy pot.

2)fold river

[/ QUOTE ]
yes, i k´now [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

[/ QUOTE ]
yeah, i was planning on doing something on the turn instead, should have gotten more in on the flop tho, it being so draw heavy and all, river is a clear cut fold too.

i'm such a monkey [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Poker Joker,

It seems like a lot of people are advocating playing 4-6 tables on an autopilot mode to build your bankroll back up. While I'm not knocking that, I know when I'm on a bad swing it really helps to concentrate on 1 or 2 tables, practice hand reading skills, really take the time to think about the hands. It makes me realize that I do like poker and it's fun, but not always fun when you've got 6 tables flashing in your face every 5 seconds. Just a thought.

Good luck.

[lehighguy]

My situation similair, I'm down $1,700 my first week as a pro, was $3000 for a few days. In a lot of ways I wish I was four tabling $200NL instead of focusing on this one $600NL. Stupid party skins breaking up.

[Ghazban]

This thread sucks; you guys know there's a bad beat/variance forum now, right?

Seriously, move down, move up, do whatever the [censored] you want. Its your money and your game, why does this board care?
